The dumpster was gone when I got home from the office; so I get to park back by the garage again. But who knows what they’ll come up with tomorrow, so I’m leaving the car outside so that they know I’ll need out. No evidence that the plumber was here. Maybe s/he was very tidy.

Today was a day of much more prom wear. In addition to all the dresses, the office now has bins of makeup and jewelry and other accessories. There was a pre-party meeting this afternoon to coordinate and make sure everyone had what they needed. I’ve pretty much figured out that nothing is going to get accomplished tomorrow. It’s party stuff most of the day.

I found a cute shirt for my niece, the panda lover (Thank you Wonkette). Yes, I was off-task at work today too.

I’ve been working on a Grapes of Wrath lesson plan. I’ve gathered a lot of Web sites into a travelogue, with some specific questions, as a prereading activity. After the exploration, they predict some of the themes that the novel will explore before diving in.
